Hi OBS community,
So, a friend of mine installed the 0.10.1 test build last night, and as it turns out, a virus came along with it.
Now, the thread from which the file was downloaded looks legit enough. This one.
The virus was named: LuckyCoupon, and it injects ads into the browser as well as it turns random words into sponsor links. Even if you have AdBlock installed.
We know it came with the OBS test build, as that was the only install that day, and the virus wasn't present previously. Please note, the virus laid idle with no symptoms until after a reboot 1 and a half day after the install date.
Oh, and lastly; I'm writing this thread on behalf of said friend simply because I just so happened to already have an account here. He's lazy like that.
But please, anyone who downloaded the test build, please scan your computers. And OBS crew, please double check the uploaded files.
Thank you.
